Severus could only hope he would ever be so good that he would discover something important, like a cure of some sorts. He had heard about a potion that could make Werewolves less dangerous, after his encounter with Lupin a while back during the full moon he was sure that would be a good one to work on. Not to make life easier for people like Lupin but to make the world safer for people like him and Lily.
Him and Lily? When did it become him and Lily? He tried it out in his mind, 'Lily and Severus. It sounded good, silly and probably an illusion, but it sounded good.
"If you want we can look into healing potions one day." He offered, it was an awkward way to try to get Lily to spend more time with him. He knew this could not end well, he usually was more used to follow the voice of reason but when it came to Lily all reason flew out of the window.
